no, you don't have the ability to push. ask me to do it

Assistant
Thinking

The user is correct - I should ask them to push the commit, not try to do it myself since I don't have push permissions. Let me explain what I found and ask them to push.

Assistant

I found the issue! The test is failing because the current code in CI (commit 72ed2cd) has a bug in how CLI and environment variables are merged.

The Problem: In src/concierge/cli/app.py, the code uses or when combining CLI and env values:

extra_snaps=extra_snaps or env_overrides.extra_snaps,

This means if you provide CLI args, the environment variables are completely ignored.

The Test Scenario: - CLI: --extra-snaps "jq/latest/edge,astral-uv" - ENV: CONCIERGE_EXTRA_SNAPS="yq/latest/edge,node/22/stable"

With the current code, only the CLI values are used (jq, astral-uv), so yq is installed from the default preset channel (latest/stable) instead of being overridden to latest/edge from the env variable.

The Fix: I've already created commit 12ac9ef locally which changes from or to +:

extra_snaps=extra_snaps + env_overrides.extra_snaps,

This merges both CLI and environment values together, so all 4 snaps get installed with the correct channels.

Action needed: Please push the local commit with:

git push origin fix-spread-tests

This should fix the extra-snaps and extra-debs tests (and likely the overrides-priority test as well).

User

The test is expecting LXD to be installed from "latest/stable" but it's actually tracking "5.21/stable/…". This suggests that the configuration isn't being parsed correctly from the config file. Let me look at the test to understand what it's doing.

I see! The config file specifies channel: latest/stable for LXD. But the snap is installed with tracking channel "5.21/stable/…" instead. This suggests that when we specify a channel like "latest/stable", the snap might be getting installed from a track-specific channel (5.21/stable).

Let me check how the Go version handles this by looking at one of its test runs. But first, let me understand how our Python code handles LXD channel configuration.

I see. The code compares snap_info.tracking_channel == self.channel to determine if a channel change is needed. The issue is that when you install a snap with snap install lxd --channel latest/stable, snapd might actually track it on a more specific channel like "5.21/stable" based on the current default track.

The comparison snap_info.tracking_channel == self.channel is doing an exact string match, so "5.21/stable/…" != "latest/stable" even though they might effectively be the same channel.

Let me check what the Go version does. But first, let me understand what the actual tracking channel format looks like by examining the test output more carefully.

The tracking channel is "5.21/stable/…" (with an ellipsis at the end). This is typical when snap doesn't show the full channel name. Let me check if there's a way to get the full tracking channel information, or if we need to normalize the channel comparison.

Actually, looking at the Go version of concierge, I should check how it handles this. Let me look at the Go repository to see how they compare channels or if they avoid this issue.

The Go version uses the exact same logic: snapInfo.TrackingChannel == l.Channel. So this suggests that in the Go version, when LXD is installed from "latest/stable", the tracking channel reported by snapd is actually "latest/stable" and not "5.21/stable/…".

Let me check if maybe our Python code isn't getting the correct tracking channel from snapd. Let me look at how we retrieve the tracking channel from snapd.

So we're getting the tracking channel from the snapd API's "tracking-channel" field (or falling back to "channel" if that's not present). This should return the correct tracking channel.

Let me check what the Go version does to see how they get the tracking channel from snapd.

The Go version gets the tracking channel from snap.TrackingChannel which comes from the snapd client library. It's doing the same thing as our Python code.

Wait, let me re-examine the failure. The snap list output shows "5.21/stable/…" but the test expects "latest/stable". The issue might be that when you install from "latest/stable", snapd might automatically track you to a more specific channel like "5.21/stable".

Let me check if the Go version of this test is actually passing, and if so, what its configuration looks like.

The Go repo doesn't have spread tests in GitHub Actions. Let me check if there's a different way they run tests. Actually, let me just check the snap install behavior more directly. The issue might be that when I specify "latest/stable" in the config, but the snap is actually being installed differently.

Assistant


Thinking
I can see that lxd is being reported as installed (installed=True snap=lxd) but I don't see the actual installation command. The tracking channel is showing "5.21/stable/…" instead of "latest/stable".  


This suggests that either:
1. LXD was already installed before the test started
2. The snap install command used a default channel, not "latest/stable"


Let me check if LXD gets installed explicitly with a channel. Let me search for the actual snap install command for lxd.

Assistant


Thinking
Aha! The key finding is that the snapd API reports the tracking channel as "5.21/stable/ubuntu-24.04" but our code is storing it as "5.21/stable/…" from the snap list output. The test is checking the snap list output which truncates the channel to "5.21/stable/…".


But wait - the snapd API shows the tracking channel as "5.21/stable/ubuntu-24.04", which means LXD was already installed before the test started, and it's tracking this specific channel. The test expects "latest/stable" but LXD is actually already installed on the channel "5.21/stable/ubuntu-24.04".


This suggests that:
1. LXD comes pre-installed on the Ubuntu 24.04 GitHub Actions runner
2. It's tracking a specific channel (5.21/stable/ubuntu-24.04), not "latest/stable"
3. Our code sees it's already installed and doesn't reinstall it


Let me check if the snap handler is supposed to refresh to a different channel if the snap is already installed. Looking back at the log, I see "installed=True" which means our code detected LXD was already installed. Let me see if it then tried to refresh it to the correct channel.

I see! The code does refresh to the specified channel when the snap is already installed (lines 62-73). So it should be running:


snap refresh lxd --channel latest/stable



Let me check if this refresh command was actually executed and what happened.

Thinking
Interesting! The command is /usr/bin/snap refresh lxd without a --channel argument. This means that snap.channel is empty when the refresh command is being constructed. Let me trace back to understand why the channel isn't being passed through.The issue is that when LXD provider creates the Snap object, it should include the channel from the config. Let me check the LXD provider initialization again.

Thinking
The LXD provider does set channel = config.providers.lxd.channel and creates the Snap with that channel. So the Snap object should have the channel "latest/stable".However, the log shows the snap refresh command without a --channel argument. This suggests that when the Snap handler calls snap_info(), the channel that is passed to it might be getting lost somewhere, or the Snap object being used doesn't have the channel set.


Wait, I see a potential issue in the snap handler. Let me look at line 72-73 again:


if snap.channel:
    args.extend(["--channel", snap.channel])



This only adds the --channel argument if snap.channel is truthy (non-empty). If snap.channel is an empty string, it won't be added.Let me check the config loading logic to see if the channel is being parsed correctly from the YAML file.

Assistant


Thinking
Aha! Found it! The log shows:


Skipping LXD stop - no channel change required [target= tracking=5.21/stable/ubuntu-24.04]



The target= is empty! This means self.channel in the LXD provider is an empty string. This indicates that the channel from the config file is not being loaded properly.


Let me check if the config is being parsed correctly. The issue is likely in how the config file is loaded.

The test config file has:


providers:
  lxd:
    enable: true
    bootstrap: true
    channel: latest/stable



But the LXD provider is receiving an empty channel. Let me check if there's an issue with how the config is being loaded.Let me check if LXDConfig is parsing the channel field properly. Maybe there's a default value issue or the field isn't being populated.

Assistant


Thinking
The LXDConfig has channel: str = "" with a default of an empty string. This should still accept the value from the YAML file. Let me write a test to verify that the config is being loaded correctly.


Actually, let me first check if there's a YAML parsing issue. Let me look at how the config file is loaded and whether YAML snake_case fields are handled correctly.Actually, looking at the config more carefully, I notice that some fields use hyphens (like model-defaults), which use the alias parameter. But channel doesn't have an alias. In YAML, the field is channel: which should map directly to channel in Python.


Let me test this locally to see if I can reproduce the issue.

Thinking
OK, so the config parsing is working fine. The channel is correctly loaded as "latest/stable". The problem must be somewhere else. Let me check the log output again to see if there are any clues about how the config was loaded in CI.Let me search for configuration loading logs in the CI run.

Assistant


Thinking
So the command is just /root/proj/concierge --trace prepare with no explicit config file or preset. According to the load_config logic, this should:
1. First check if a preset is specified (it's not)
2. Then check for an explicit config file (it's not)
3. Then check for a default concierge.yaml in the current directory (this should exist in the test directory)


Let me check the config loading log to see if the config file was actually found and loaded.

Found it! The critical line is:INFO     No config file found, using 'dev'    loader.py:49


The config file is NOT being found, and the system is falling back to the 'dev' preset instead! This is the issue. The test has a concierge.yaml file in its directory, but the concierge tool is not finding it.


Let me check the test to see where it runs from and where the config file is.

The test does pushd "${SPREAD_PATH}/${SPREAD_TASK}" which should change to the test directory where the concierge.yaml file is located. Then it runs "$SPREAD_PATH"/concierge --trace prepare.


The issue is that after pushd, the current directory is the test directory (e.g., /root/proj/tests/disable-juju-config), so when it runs /root/proj/concierge --trace prepare, the concierge command looks for concierge.yaml in the current directory, which should be the test directory.


But the log says "No config file found". Let me check what the current directory check is in the config loader.

Thinking
The code checks if Path("concierge.yaml").exists(). This should work if the current directory is the test directory after pushd. However, the Python process might not be seeing the correct current directory.


Let me check if the Go version has the same test structure and if it works there. Actually, wait - let me check the spread.yaml to see if there's something special about how the Python concierge is being built/installed that might affect the working directory.

Thinking
Aha! Found the issue! The wrapper script does:```bash


!/bin/bash


cd /root/proj
exec uv run concierge "$@"
```


When the test does pushd "${SPREAD_PATH}/${SPREAD_TASK}" and then runs "$SPREAD_PATH"/concierge --trace prepare, the wrapper script changes directory BACK to /root/proj before running uv run concierge.


This means the current directory when the Python code runs is always /root/proj, not the test directory! So it's looking for /root/proj/concierge.yaml which doesn't exist.


The fix is to remove the cd /root/proj from the wrapper script, or to make the concierge command respect the current working directory of the caller.Let me check what the Go version's wrapper looks like or how it handles this.

Thinking
I see - this wrapper was added to ensure uv run concierge works from the correct project directory where the pyproject.toml is located. But this breaks the assumption that config files should be found relative to the current working directory.The fix is to remove the cd /root/proj and instead rely on the fact that uv run can find the project by looking up the directory tree for pyproject.toml. But I need to verify this works.


Actually, a better approach might be to preserve the current working directory by using an absolute path to the uv/Python installation but not changing the cwd. Let me modify the wrapper to not change directories.

Commit wrapper script fix
git add spread.yaml && git commit -m "fix: preserve current working directory in wrapper script

The wrapper script was changing directory to /root/proj before running
concierge, which prevented the tool from finding config files in the
current working directory. This caused tests with local concierge.yaml
files to fall back to the 'dev' preset instead of using their configs.

Changed to use 'uv run --directory /root/proj' which specifies the
project root for uv without changing the current working directory,
allowing config files to be found relative to where the command is run.

I found the root cause! The wrapper script was changing the current working directory to /root/proj before running the concierge command. This prevented tests from finding their local concierge.yaml config files.


The Problem:
The wrapper script in spread.yaml was:


#!/bin/bash
cd /root/proj
exec uv run concierge "$@"



When a test does pushd to its test directory and runs concierge, the wrapper would cd back to /root/proj, causing the config loader to look for concierge.yaml there instead of in the test directory. Since it wasn't found, it would fall back to the 'dev' preset.


The Fix:
I changed the wrapper to use uv run --directory /root/proj which tells uv where to find the Python project without changing the current working directory:


#!/bin/bash
exec uv run --directory /root/proj concierge "$@"



Now config files will be found relative to where the command is executed (the test directory), not relative to the project root.


Commit: 11d6fbe - fix: preserve current working directory in wrapper script


This should fix all the failing tests that rely on local config files (disable-juju-config, juju-extra-bootstrap-args, juju-model-defaults, overrides-priority, and the provider tests).

- juju-extra-bootstrap-args

- juju-model-defaults
- overrides-priority
- provider-google
- provider-k8s
- provider-lxd
- provider-microk8s
- provider-none


I'll let you know once the run completes and we can verify the results.
